More Minnesota Fun...

Things are going well here in the north country. The boys are continuing to enjoy the attention of the grandparents that are here. I am still looking for a job and also still trying to decide on a phone (the choices are endless). Starting next weekend we begin traveling a lot. I head to NY to check on the house and visit friends. Then we're off to Kansas City to see the Dye's with a stop in Des Moines to visit all the new Iowa babies. At the end of the month I am hoping to head out to Colorado to visit friends. Then, it's off to Milwaukee to keep Connie and Charlotte company while Steve is away. Erskine for Easter and by then it's only the middle of April!
I am really looking forward to all the traveling. It will be nice to get out of the house during the dreary MN winter that never wants to end and I have lots of good friends I haven't seen for awhile that will be nice to catch up with.
After i get back from NY I will have a lot more photos to download (I left the battery to my camera there!).
I hope you all are doing well

It's 35 degrees...let's go outside!


So, yes, the temperature, after spending almost 2 weeks in the negative numbers has finally risen above freezing, so with only a half hour of sunlight left, I dragged the boys outside. Yes, they are in their PJs. No, they don't have shoes on. We only had 30 minutes!! I didn't want to waste 20 minutes getting them dressed! I am so looking forward to the arrival of spring even if that silly little groundhog says we still have 6 weeks left of winter. I do try to get the boys out as often as possible, but when the wind chill dips below 20 degrees, I don't even try - it's just too cold.
